Water for Life

Water is not only a resource, it is a life source. We all share the responsibility to ensure a healthy, secure and sustainable water supply for our communities,
environment, and economy – our quality of life depends on it. The Government of Alberta has released the Water for Life action plan, the roadmap that
the government and its partners will follow over the next 10 years. The action plan supports the goals and directions in Alberta’s renewed Water for Life
strategy.

The renewed strategy better reflects the population increase and economic growth Alberta has seen over the past years, and Albertans’ changing water
needs. As in the original, the renewed Water for Life strategy has three main goals:

Healthy aquatic ecosystems

Reliable, quality water supplies for a sustainable economy

Safe, secure drinking water

These goals will be met through knowledge and research, partnerships, and water conservation

The renewed strategy and corresponding action plan reaffirms Alberta’s commitment to the Water for Life approach: the wise management of our province’s
water resources for the benefit of all Albertans.
